* University of West Georgia (Carrollton, GA): This is probably the closest significant university, about a 30-45 minute drive from Newnan, depending on traffic.
* West Georgia Technical College (several campuses): West Georgia Tech has several campuses in the area, some potentially closer to Newnan than the main University of West Georgia campus. Check their website for locations.
* Southern Crescent Technical College (Griffin, GA): A bit further than West Georgia Tech, but still within a reasonable commuting distance for some.
* Clayton State University (Morrow, GA): Further out than the previous options, but still potentially accessible for a longer commute.
To find the *absolute* closest, I'd recommend using online map tools (like Google Maps) and searching for "colleges near Newnan, GA." You can then filter by type of school (community college, university, etc.) to find the best fit for your needs.
